Children are the future of the motherland, and education is the hope of the nation. This is a truth that ordinary farmers understand, but I didn't expect that someone would try to kill the flowers of our motherland, and it was so blatant. I don't know if I don't pick it up, but it shatters the three views.
On May 26, 2022, the incident of the people's education version of the poisonous textbook became a hot search. As we all know, in our country, a considerable number of provinces use textbooks that are people's education version of textbooks, which is not an ordinary trivial matter, so it has gained the attention of the majority of netizens as soon as it is on the hot search.
The first to expose this matter was the parent of a child.
While looking at the child's textbook, the parent noticed a very strange phenomenon. The style of the illustrations in the textbook is obviously a bit strange.
The first is the character in the illustration. The style of the characters in the previous illustrations was like this:
such
And such
It is not a character that is full of positive energy at first glance, or an ink painting style with Chinese characteristics, which can bring a very positive impact to children.
However, in the exposed version of the textbook, the style of the characters in the illustrations is simply indescribable.
Wide eye distance, small eyes, half-open eyes, weird smile, tongue spit outside, netizens have said, is this still Chinese? Is this still the same person in my previous impression of teaching the textbook? How did the style of painting become so strange.
However, this is not the most shocking. What's even more unacceptable is that there are a lot of uncomfortable scenes in the illustrations.
For example, in the illustration, a child has a tattoo on his leg.
In another illustration, a male student's hands are directly on the female student's chest while playing a game. There is also an illustration that directly draws the underwear under the skirt of a female classmate.
Moreover, in many illustrations, the style of male classmates is particularly strange. In the genitals of the lower body, a suspicious part is deliberately highlighted. Children may not be able to see it, but adults know it when they see it. Thinking about it this way, it is impossible for the person who draws the illustration not to understand it, but only to do it on purpose.
Netizens have said that it is too spicy eyes.
In addition, there are also careful netizens who pointed out a lot of more strange places.
First of all, the Star-Spangled Banner appears in many of the illustrations.
For example, the children in the following illustrations are wearing clothes with conspicuous Stars and Stripes. You know, the Stars and Stripes are the most striking feature of the American flag, which has to make people think about it.
If the Star-Spangled Banner is just a speculation by some netizens, then the following painting should be difficult to exculpate.
On the cover of a Chinese textbook, a family of four is happily together, which seems to be very warm at first glance. But if you look closely, you'll find that something is wrong - why is this family of four wearing Japanese kimonos?
Looking at it again, the maid next to the four of them was wearing clothes worn by ordinary Chinese people. What does this mean? It's too blatant to kiss Japan, right?
In addition, on the cover of the textbook "Morality and Society", the author also uses a lot of Japanese elements. For example, the girl in the kimono, the famous mountain Fuji in Japan, and the cherry blossoms, the national flower of Japan, and even the buildings in the back are all Japanese-style.
It's not that you can't incorporate Japanese or American elements into your illustrations, but you always have to distinguish the occasion, right? There are so many beautiful rivers and mountains to paint in China, and the Chinese culture is so broad and profound, shouldn't we focus on promoting our own culture and cultivating children's cultural self-confidence in the teaching materials for children?
How could so many strange things be added? Isn't this the flower that mutilates the Motherland?
It's a strange question: how did these illustrations get approved? Do the flowers of our motherland study from this kind of textbook every day?
As a result, the majority of netizens also began to dig deep into the grudge behind the poisonous textbooks, which made Wu Yong surface.
As you can see in the textbook, the layout design and illustrations are related to a design studio called "Beijing Wu Yong Design Studio".
So, who is Wu Yong?
Some netizens found out that Wu Yong graduated from Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts and has won many awards, and his resume is also quite beautiful. At first glance, you really can't see anything wrong.
However, some netizens paid attention to the fact that Wu Yong's teacher is Lu Jingren, and Lu Jingren himself is also the general consultant of the overall design art of the textbook. So the question is, the two are not only a master-apprentice relationship, but also a cooperative relationship, can the two of them not know about the poisonous teaching materials?
Netizens took a closer look and found that Lu Jingren's background was very interesting.
Lu Jingren was born in 1947 and is the fifth oldest in the family. The Lu family was a businessman on the wealthy side of Shanghai during the Anti-Japanese War. It is said that the reason why the Lu family was able to make a fortune from the silk business was definitely not an ordinary person, because the cotton spinning business at that time was basically under the strict control of the Japanese.
It's hard to say why.
However, even if you don't talk about this, the relationship between Lu Jingren and Japan is not ordinary. He studied under Kohei Sugiura, a professor at Kobe University in Japan.
Moreover, who appeared in the Renjiao version of the textbook with Wu Yong, there was also his son Lu Min. In this way, Lu Jingren and others are even more inseparable from the poisonous textbooks.
After the matter fermented, the Ministry of Education also responded quickly to this problem. Three months later, the results of the investigation were announced, and many of the people involved were disciplined. At the same time, after investigation, the Ministry of Education did not find any interest relationship between Wu Yong and Lu Jingren.
As for Wu Yong, Lu Jingren, Lu Min and others, the Ministry of Education also stated that it would not continue to hire. This matter has finally come to an end.
However, what netizens are most concerned about is what happened to the new textbooks and whether the poisonous textbooks have been completely eradicated. No, just recently, the new textbook was newly released, and it quickly gained the attention of netizens.
This time, the new textbook changed the previous uncomfortable painting style, and re-made many netizens in their 80s and 90s regain the feeling of childhood.
Those strange characters are gone, and the children in the illustrations have upright facial features, full of sunshine, and full of youthful demeanor. The clothes of the characters are also much more pleasing to the eye, which is the kind of student uniforms that are common in Chinese schools, and many elements of Chinese characteristics are also added to the picture, which makes people shine.
Netizens praised the new textbook: This is what Chinese textbooks should look like.
Epilogue:
Education is essential for a country. Teaching materials are a vital part of education. Under the poison of poisonous teaching materials, the flowers of the motherland will inevitably grow crooked. If this continues, generation after generation of fresh blood will be polluted by these ill-intentioned people.
But fortunately, the matter of poisoning the textbook has been successfully handled. It is hoped that the relevant departments can also strengthen supervision on this and not let similar things happen again. I also hope that the majority of netizens will continue to supervise, find out that it is not right to expose it as soon as possible, and do not give these bad guys a chance.
